-- LIVE MUSICIAN --
We are excited to bring Xuun (he/they) to offer the soundscape for this special, longer jam. He can be found regularly improvising for the Finnish Hall jams in Berkeley and many Bay Area events, crafting really potent ambiences with his art and attunement. Here's his bio to learn more about him:
Xuun is a Vietnamese-American intuitive sound alchemist. He offers unique live-looping sound healing journeys created live in the moment, tuning into the individual and collective energy of the audience. Channeling and co-creating music with the participants so that what is intuitively needed is allowed to emerge. Each journey may incorporate guzheng, flute, pan drum and other sounds inspired by his ancestors and guides.

Firelight: Lovers in the Wild
A New Sanctuary • A Deeper Flame • A Playful, Erotic Gathering of Lovers!
After two powerful, magical years, FireLight🔥 enters its third year—rooted in trust, shaped by experience, and ready for a new chapter.
The theme for this year is "Lovers in the Wild" , an invitation to return to our primal aliveness—where connection, attunement, and community support your nervous system to soften so your wild nature feels safe to emerge. Surrounded by sacred land, water, and sky we circle around the fire to explore what it means to be fully alive—curious, present, open, and connected to the earth, our erotic innocence, and one another.
Through ceremony, workshops, dance, play, music, erotic embodiment, and connection to a tribe of loving humans, we create a culture where wildness and care belong together. Here, you may embrace your authentic desires, deepen trust in your body’s wisdom, or revel in the spark that ignites when two people meet beyond masks and roles.
We gather to play big, feel deeply, and remember that our wild nature is not something to tame—but something to celebrate, together.🔥
This summer we gather at Cedar Springs Retreat Center, a stunning 92-acre sanctuary in the Sierra Foothills outside Yosemite National Park. Rolling hills, open meadows, forested paths, decks bathed in sunlight, dancing under the stars, and water to float, swim, and play—all held by a venue designed for movement, music, and deep human connection.
FireLight 🔥 is a sensual, ceremonial, and whimsical micro-festival for adults, where eros is honored and every expression of aliveness is welcomed with care. Throughout four days and three nights, we’ll gather for dance, music, embodied rituals, workshops, ceremony, conscious play, and fireside communion—inviting both devotion and delight.
FireLight 🔥 is capped at 300 participants and attendance is by RSVP application, allowing us to co-create a field that feels safe, alive, playful, and deeply connected.
Come as you are.
Leave more in love—with yourself, each other, and life.

Massage + Sound Healing
Join us for some gentle live music, massage, and sauna time.
Your clothes will stay on during the 90 min sound healing and your personal 10-15 min massage (and come off if you’d like to sauna).
This is a great way to usher in the Lunar New Year which is the year of the Fire Horse.
Let’s clear stagnant energy and let go of what no longer serves to embody courage and forward motion in the direction of truth and vitality for the new year.
Your feedback from January: You want longer massages ❤️💆To make this happen, the event is longer and number of tickets fewer. That also means the ticket price went up.
Thanks for your support! Two discounted will be offered for people who can help with set up/clean up. Reach out to Alex if interested.
